On Saturday Ebbsfleet United entertain AFC Halifax Town in a game in which three points could make a difference in the table to both clubs.

So tight is the league that should the Shaymen win, and other results go their way, they could go top. In fact, so tight is the league that even a draw could take them above league leaders Sutton United but because Aldershot Town are at Macclesfield Town, and they cannot both lose, that could not put them top of the pile..

Meanwhile a win for Ebbsfleet could push them into mid table. Furthermore, despite being sixteenth, in the Vanarama Nation, they are only seven points off the top so victory could have them eyeing up the top of the league rather than over their shoulders.

Hard to beat Fleet have only suffered defeat one league game since Boxing Day when Aldershot won 2-0 at Stonebridge Road earlier this month. However, they have rebounded well with another draw at home to Tranmere Rovers before winning at Boreham Wood last Saturday.

That was another tight game and looked to be destined for another draw until Dean Wells brought Darren McQueen down in the penalty area with fifteen minutes remaining. Veteran striker stepped up and converted.

After claiming just two points and one goal, Halifax have climbed up the league with six wins in eight games, the most recent being a 2-1 win over Bromley. However, their last trip on the road was unsuccessful, going down 3-1 at Dagenham and Redbridge.
